Vaping and Digital Citizenship and Responsibilities- The Jr. High and HS held a parent information meeting on the topic of both vaping and social media safety on Thursday, November 15.There were various presenters and informational sheets were available for parents in attendance. School counselors continue to teach lessons on these topics as well, and also incorporate presenters from Serenity House to educate our students in these areas.

Fundraisers and Donations- The Lions Club held a fundraiser at Jefe’s on Friday, October 26 and about $400 was given back to the organization.They also sold drinks at the annual Christmas parade. There have also been donations from the Pecan Shed and individuals to help the cause.

2.Clean hands and germ prevention – Clay County Extension Office Sherry Halsell just did the program at the Elementary with every grade, just finished headstart yesterday.

3.Lions club fund raiser October 26th at Jefe’s from 5pm-9pm, they will be donating 10% of proceeds. Jeanette is going to email Paula the flyer so she can post an event on Facebook. They are not doing a newspaper ad because of the cost.

4.Health Fair in the spring for the 4th and 5th graders. Sherry said she could do a sugar lesson instead of physical bingo, or have someone else do the physical bingo. Jerry is still going to do a tobacco lesson.

5.Digital Citizenship and Responsibilities / Social Media and Gaming DisorderSergeant Dan Buesing from WFPD said he would do this program for us if we’re interested. There is a need for this kind of information. Jeanette shared information from a webinar that she watched over the summer. We should be on the lookout for a program that we can bring to the school and also do a parent information night.

It went really well this year. Volunteers were provided with lunch and many students brought bikes to participate in the rodeo and receive a helmet.

Stations & Presenters included:

Concussion & Safety (Health Dept Nurse – Tera Green)

EMTs from hospital (CCMH)

Pedestrian Walk (Tish Beaver & McGruff)

Rollover Station (Tish Beaver & DPS State Troopers)

2.Lion’s Club will be at Turkey Fest April 7 selling water and lemonade to help raise money for vouchers for glasses for our students.

3.SHAC parent members:

New Parent Members: Suggestions of new SHAC parent members for the 2018-2019 school year are to be presented before the first meeting of next school year.

4.Reviewed and approved the proposed Henrietta ISD School Health Advisory Council 2018 Annual Written Report. Paula Moore will sign the report which will be submitted to the Henrietta ISD Board of Trustees on April 12, 2018.

We have Left Over Helmets – Large 14, Medium 37, Small 2. Sherri has ordered XLarge 2, Large 6, Medium 20, Small 2. Dr. Greer will help with probably half the cost of the helmets.

If our PTO doesn't have enough money to pay for the additional helmets needed, Sherri will find more sponsors.

We will still work on getting volunteers to help in all areas around the stations, and talk to the coaches to contact the athletes to see if some of them could come help talk at the concussion station. Possibly talk to someone about horse/helmet safety as an alternate station. Sherri is also going to check on someone to talk about rodeo safety that could possibly be a station with the athletes in place of the EMT station. Stations need to be set up and ready by 12:00 and plan on staying till 3:15.

The helmets are going to be put together before.

Volunteers the day of the rodeo: Tammy Williams, Melody Smith, Chapel Deaton, Cindy Dunkerley. Brittanie said she could help in the morning as well. Dunkerley and Talley can check in bikes in the morning. Volunteers need to arrive by 11:30 at the parking lot next to the track. They will need to sign in the front office yet.

We are looking at doing the program in the fall this year instead of the spring for the junior high and high school. Last year it was done through 7th grade science and 9th grade Biology. Also, the elementary would also like to have Jessica Longley come to do the talks to the elementary. Jeanette said the program costs about $250 for a full day. By state law it is abstinence based.

2. SHAC Dates for Next Year

The next SHAC meeting is scheduled for December 13. We will look at spring dates and schedule those later.

3. Think of new parents

The SHAC committee is supposed to consist of more parents than school employees. Chrystal Compean (HHS parent) normally comes. Sheila Catron (HJH parent) normally comes and is a great resource is for our committee. Heather Dillard (HES & HJH Parent) came to one meeting last year - hopefully she will come back. Melody Smith (HES, HJH, & HHS parent) is a new member. Jessica Longley would be an idea as an HES parent. Tammy Williams would be an idea for a HJH and HHS parent.

4. Wellness Policy Evaluation

Handouts included Student Welfare Wellness and Health Services FFA Local and Wellness Policy Assessment Tool. The committe read through the assessment tool and answered the questions for each section.

5. Any Misc?

This year will be the bike safety rodeo.

Melody asked if anyone in our district had talked about Community Resource Collaboration Group.

We are looking into whether the Lion’s Club will continue to provide support for eyeglass exams and eyeglasses. Sherri said the ministerial alliance would be another idea that would fund eyeglasses to families in need. Mr. Lowery is supposed to be checking with the main office.

As far as we know everything is ok. Carol hasn’t received any more updates from the service center since she has taken over. Jeanette is just going to look at the wellness policy posted online and make sure it looks like it is correct and up to date.

Permission slips/opt out for Hot Topics? Jeanette will ask for her to get opt out letters to us 2 weeks in advance. The junior high and high school may request to budget money to include the entire hot topics program next year.

Reviewed and approved the proposed Henrietta ISD School Health Advisory Council 2017 Annual Written Report. Paula Moore signed the report which will be submitted to the Henrietta ISD Board of Trustees on April 13, 2017.

Nicki Holbert and Hot Topics – The junior high has contracted with Jessica Longley to have 5 days of the hot topics program at the junior high. She is scheduled to come do the program thru the science classes

Friday, May 12 – Combined Boys and Girls (Program days 1,2 3)

Monday, May 15 – Girls (Program day 4)

Tuesday, May 16 – Boys (Program day 4)

Monday, May 22 – Girls (Program day 5)

Tuesday, May 23 – Boys (Program day 5)

Mrs. Holding said she has enough money to also pay for 2 days at the high school if they want to schedule it.

We will see how this program goes and then discuss whether we want to continue with the Hot Topic program or go back to Aim for Success.

Health Fair – March 10, 2017 for 4th -5th grades – 8 sessions, 4 for 4th and 4 for 5th. In the past she has had Jessica Longly do Zumba in the gym.

Other ideas: Endurance House – trick bikes, Texas Dept of Health for Archer City – maybe poisoning program, Trista Eason – personal training & nutrition, Sherri Halsell & Jerry – not sure if they will be able to participate this year, Natural Grocers – nutritious snack alternative, Jessica Bachman from Area Food Bank - came to head start to talk about nutrition, Linda Treadway at Sams – in charge of community programs maybe nutritious snacks, Lacy Edwards works at the health dept in Wichita Falls – does smoking, diabetes education, Serenity Foundation – positive choices (tobacco, drug alcohol, stress), DARE program won’t service Clay County for a program, Rose Street – gaming addiction, Dental Hygiene – MSU school and the previous presenter.

Misc. – Sheila Catron said she has a big supply of clothes and undergarments that she can donate to the elementary school and junior high.

Jessica Longley was the special guest. Jessica teaches Hot topics, an abstinence based program focusing on sexual activity and drugs and alcohol.

The 5 day course consists of DVDs, lectures, and power point. You can also do a smaller program tailored for your specific needs and wants. Jr high classes are more about making good choices, self esteem, respect, and puberty. The high school classes focus on reproduction and STDs. Jessica said she also has quizzes about the course if you need daily grades and kids generally pay closer attention if they know there is a grade. Also if there is a specific concern at the school, she can tailor to that. It also touches on Bullying. The price of the program is $200 a day.

The elementary invested in the Great Body Shop for 5th grade. It has units over nutrition, injury, HIV, drugs, PE, consumer health,etc. Every student gets a booklet. It has not came in yet, but it covers all 5th grade TEKS. It should come in by November.

Mr. Perkins and Mrs. Stanford will be going over High school TEKS. There is no health class. There are certain classes that touch on these topics, but not all students get them. Mr. Perkins said he will talk to Mr. Smiley and Mrs. Stanford about the presenter.

4th and 5th grade health fair is in the spring. Be thinking of ideas or presentors to be discussed at December meeting.

Carol Patterson did a survey with the high school and elementary on breakfast menu. She said she would like to do something educational with the students so they understand the requirements and why we have to follow them.

Aim for Success –The parent meeting is scheduled for February 25th from 6-7 in the Henrietta Junior High cafeteria. The student program will be February 26th in the morning at the high school and in the afternoon at the junior high. This year it is the Freedom to Succeed program that will cover information about the law.

Wellness Policy – Kim Hollar is going through our policy and updating according to the new guidelines. Some of the items that will need to be addressed will have to be coordinated with the campus principals (campus handbooks will need to be updated and adjusted during the summer so they corrected before the school year starts). We just have to be aware and working on making the adjustments required.

Once we have the wellness policy updated, the school board will need to approve.

We will cancel the March 9th meeting date because Kim Hollar will not be able to attend. We will look at rescheduling our next meeting for an April date to re-address the updates on the policy.

Bicycle Rodeo – Scheduled for April 22.Sheila has scheduled Mark Beauchamp, the transportation director with the City of Wichita Falls. Arty Woods is coming as well. There are a few things that we will try to do differently to make things go smoother this year (see previous meeting notes). Sherry can get up to 50 helmets at no cost. After that they are $7 each. Dr. Greer will help us as well. Sheila will ask the PTO president if they will sponsor about 50 medium and large helmets. Dr. Greer requested that the helmets that he sponsors does not go to the same kids who received a free helmet at the last rodeo (that would be the 3rd graders who are now 5th graders. There were about 22 students). Another comment made was that the teachers needed to stay with their class through all rotations. And group leaders would take the groups from station to station. The problem is that this is during teacher’s conference time and they would have to volunteer their time off to help. Julie thought she could get 3 or 4 parent volunteers to help. Cherise will ask some parents to help as well. Volunteers will need to come at 11 until the end of the school day. Some volunteers will also need to come in the morning to help check in bikes. At least 3 people will need to be outside checking in bikes starting at 7:15 and tagging them by color according to grade level. Kim Hollar said she could come over early to help. Cherise said she will see if someone can cover her morning duty so she can help with bike check-in as well. Jeanette called the ambulance person and they thought they would be able come. Coach West said he thought the student athletes would be able to come talk to the kids about concussions and injuries. Sheila suggested an idea for a demonstration. Put 2 eggs in separate baggies – one wrapped up protectively and one with no protection. The eggs are dropped to show how the unprotected egg will crack. The committee decided it would not be a good idea to try to get "loaner" bikes for kids who don’t bring their own bikes. The other stations are set up to occupy the kids that do not have bikes to go through the bike rodeo.

Employee Wellness Lab – They are coming March 22. The cost is $15. They will be here from 6:30 – 9:00 am. The PTO hospitality person has helped in the past. Jeanette is going to see if they will provide breakfast again this year.

Sherri has curriculum for head start that she is going to try to introduce next year for parent meetings.

In May, Sherri is going to come do a water conservation program for the 5th graders. They are planning it for May 13th.

The meeting was adjourned at 4:55 pm.

The next meeting will be re-scheduled for some time in April before April 22.

Bicycle Rodeo – Proposed date set for Friday, April 22. Sheila will contact Mark Beachum, the transit director from the city of Wichita Falls. Also ask Sherry about the helmets being donated again this year. The committee also recommended bringing snacks and water for volunteers. Also possibly provide sunscreen for workers as well.

Ideas for bus kids to participate: Volunteers could bring "learner bikes" for students without bikes to use.

Another suggestion was to bring the activities in together close so kids don’t have to walk so far from activity to activity.

Suicide Prevention – Scot would like the SHAC team to preview a suicide prevention that teachers could use. Kenya Henderson (Program Specialist with DSHS) talked about a training (train the trainer) that her agency provides that targets suicide prevention. She said she would get Jeanette more information to share with Scot.

Bicycle Rodeo – Mrs. Bennett does want to go ahead and plan this for the spring. Last year 211 students in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. 88 kids brought bikes to school. We gave away 76 (some already had helmets). This year we have 197 students in 3-5 grades. Jeanette

Mark Beachum was contact person for the rodeo. Other stations included: Pedestrian Crossing, Clay County EMTs, Rollover Car, and McGruff,

Suggestions for this year:

Park bikes by grade level.

Color code bikes with name.

Bring bikes closer to rodeo.

After rodeo have kids take the bikes back to playground.

Get helmets ready before the rodeo.

Need at least 2 more volunteers for fitting and obstacle course.

Order 90% more large

Ideas for bus kids to be able to participate. – The will need to make arrangements to get bikes to school.

Get volunteers and need to be pre-approved.

Volunteers need to plan for sun exposure.

Need more high school students to talk about concussions, or at least check on the timing of it to make sure it coincides with the station times.

For this year the estimated times will be 4th grade 12:00 – 1:00, 5th grade 1:00-2:00, 3rd grade 2:00 – 3:00

Also this year the suggestion was made to get permission slip home early and brought back a few days before so that teachers can have the list of students participating.

The other not from last year was to bring extension cords.

Misc. Sherri did the clean hands program with the elementary already. Sherri said she may not be able to make a lot of the meetings this year because of other conflicts but she will come when she can and would like to be kept up to date with SHAC information.

On. Nov 19 from 6-8., Sherri is helping host a Healthy Dinner Tonight Program. She hung up posters in the teacher’s lounge today to promote. It will cost $15 a head of time or $20 at the door. Only the first 50 people to sign up will be able to attend because of room for seating. Sherri will also be sending out something that she is starting after Christmas to help track healthy eating habits.

1. Patti - Obesity and Heart Health program with the 4th and 5th graders

Patti brought a coworker named Irish. Body Parts in a Box - game to identify body parts. She provided the handouts of the activity of what the body parts were. For example - eyeballs were peeled grapes, large olives, or pearl onions. She also provided a powerpoint of her presentation. She provided a story with a quiz for students who did not want to participate in the activity. She felt like the program went really well with the students and she had no students that did not want to participate. She said she would like to hear feedback from the teachers about what they thought about the program and what the students reported to them. Jeanette said that if Patti wanted to come up with an evaluation form she could have the students fill it out for her.

April 6-10 - National Public Health Week - Patti wanted to know if our 4th graders could participate in a poster contest. Every student would get a small prize for participation and a judge would pick an overall winner that would get the grand prize. There would be a people choice award and a judged award. Jeanette will ask Kendra if we can participate in this.

2. 1 st grade 3/17 and 3/18 during music/PE
Someone from the masonic lodge came in and did a dental program with the 1st graders and gave them a dental kit.

3. Aim for Success scheduled in April
The parent meeting will be April 9 at the HJH cafeteria from 6-7pm. Parent letters will go home with students (return only for non-participators) and the science teachers will offer extra credit for students whose parents show up.

The student program will be on April 10 at HHS in the morning and HJH in the afternoon.

4. Review lab wellness and 4th and 5th grade health fair

We had really good participation for the wellness lab. For the health fair, Jeanette had 4 groups cancel, but then she had 2 more volunteers that came through at the last minute. She ended up being short 2 stations, but it worked out ok.

Stations she ended up with were:

dental health

nutrition

tobacco

safety and hospital admittance

sun safety

Exercise/stretching

zumba

5. Sherri Halsell - bike safety program and possibly a new program for staff members for next year in addition to the healthy Monday recipes

Sherri is asking if Dr. Greer will commit to helping with the bike program for next year again.

Sherri is going to talk to the principals about a 12 week healthy choice program that the staff could participate in. (Example - drink more water for the first week, then adding a new healthy goal each week

6. End of the year report

Jeanette will give it to Paula to review and sign and will submit it for the April board meeting.

7. Misc. Jeanette suggested that the committee members remain the same for next year's committee. Everyone agreed. The next meeting will be in the fall of next school year. Jeanette will send out an email when the dates are set.

1. Guest Speaker: Patti Shearin, Program Specialist - Community Health Services out of Region 2-3. Provided brochure. The focus of the programs is on children. They support education/programs for childhood obesity, cutting, self-esteem, bullying, suicide prevention - she is the suicide prevention specialist. She does suicide prevention training. She also provided a bullying prevention handout and app card. She is also on a Childhood Fatality Intervention Team - we have one shared with Archer, Clay and Willbarger. Patti is coming to the fair and doing a program called "The Heart Feeds the Parts". There will be prizes for everyone who attends and also a grand prize of a marker man given through a drawing. Her assistant will also come and help. She also provided a handout about firearm related fatalities. She does a presentation on obesity and what a crisis it is in our country. She provided another handout including a student fitness report for clay county schools showing Henrietta 26% high risk, 16% no risk, 42% Achieving HFZ. She shared that if we don't get a handle on this our children will not have as long of a life expectancy as we will. This is a shift - in the past we have always had increasing life expectancy.

Jeanette said she normally has about 60 people participate. It usually is about $15 for a complete CBC. Jeanette is in need of volunteers to bring breakfast food. Normally the PTO brings the food. Jeanette will send a list of items needed to Paula who will forward it on to the PTO.

3. Health Fair for 4th and 5th grade is scheduled for Friday, March 6th. BJ had a suggestion for a presenter: Specialty Nurses Home Health care would like to come to do a blood sugar or blood pressure booth. Jeanette already has all her stations filled in but she will look into using them in the future for kids or teachers.

4. February Heart Awareness – The elementary will do activities February 2-6 through PE and wear red on the 6th.

5. Wellness Wednesday - Has been put on hold for a while because of conflicts with the elementary.

6. Sherri is doing the hand washing activity with head start on the 20th.

Recipes – each member provided Jeanette with a healthy recipe to share.

PTO could possibly provide water bottles in the lounge, a fruit tray or cut fruit for water (lemon or lime wedges), or a diffuser pitcher for water. Paula brought documents from the Worksite Wellness Challenge Program. Sherri also has some information that Kendra may want to share in a newsletter each week. Sherri also shares "Dinner tonight" emails each Monday that is a heathy economical recipe with a video. Sherri will add us onto the email list to get the recipes.

Discussed the possibility of doing a bingo or keeping scores of healthy habits and rewarding top scoring teacher a reward like a duty free day. Kendra wants to start the wellness Wednesday in January.

2. February Heart Awareness

Cherise will be doing activities during PE. Patti Shearing sent a couple of heart awareness things that Jeanette will share with Cherise.

3. Aims for Success scheduled for April 10th for students. Parent program will be April 9th 6-7 in HHS cafeteria. Junior High Science teachers will send paper home to parents and give extra credit for parent participation.

4. Heath fair ideas

Jerry -tobacco and breathing (through straw) program.

Sherri- (nutrition) hydration water vs sports drinks or she can do sugar

Patti Shearing - Program Specialist, Community Health Services with Texas Department of State Health Services - Arlington, TX. She has a program that she does with elementary age kids and provides free pedometers. Jeanette will ask about pedometers for the junior high (50 - 100 needed). She is coming to the January 14th meeting. She dropped off suicide prevention materials and can also do training for people on ACT (suicide prevention)

More kids brought bikes than expected. The kids really liked it. The bike rodeo will be held every other year.

211 students participated.

88 students brought bikes.

75 helmets were available to give away to students. Students that already had a helmet may not have gotten a helmet. Some students said they didn't have a helmet. So we actually have a few extra helmets left over.

We ended up doing permission slips at the last minute because it was required by the man doing the rodeo.

Had pre / post surveys.

Had 4 stations which worked out well.

Kids wanted to talk more about head injuries at that station but the girls that were there presenting were very shy. So the suggestion was made to get kids from high school that are willing to talk to the kids about head safety/protection.

Suggestion was also made to park bikes by grade level.

Another suggestion to have the kids move bikes out by the tennis courts closer to the time for their grade levels rodeo so there is not so much time wasted moving the bike at the time of the program.

Need extra people in the morning helping get bikes checked in.

Get helmets ready before the rodeo. Loosen straps and get the visor ready.

Need some large helmets (90% medium 10% large).

We also could have used a couple more volunteers at the obstacle course.

Maybe consider ideas to accommodate if bus kids want to bring a bike.

Make sure that volunteers are on the approved list to volunteer.

Need a few really long extension cords ready in advance.

2. November Diabetic Awareness Month

Cherise Talley has a few games/activities that she will do during November 10-14.

Kristin suggested a "Be Aware" color sheet that all the kids could do.

3. Possible Aim for Success Dates: May 15, May 19, and May 20.

4. Wellness Wednesday.

Mrs. Bennett wanted to think about ideas to promote a wellness Wednesday. Teachers could participate and model healthy behaviors to the kids. Maybe after January this would be a good time to do a kick off.

Every SHAC member will email Jeanette a healthy recipe to share by the next meeting on Dec 10.

Idea bingo sheet to track healthy choices. Sheila will see if she can find a bingo sheet to tweak.

5. Health Fair Ideas for March 6

For 4th and 5th graders

Rotate through stations every 15 minutes.

Jessica Longly does Zumba with the kids at the last station.

Need 8 people/stations.

The high fidelity mannequin’s budget was cut so they will not be able to come.

This is a state requirement for 3-12 grades. Students’ physical fitness must be assessed each year and sent in to the state. We use the program called Fitness Gram. Any parent that wants a copy of it has the right to see it. We've done this 2007.

2.Bicycle Safety Program

In the October meeting, the committee talked about the need for a bicycle safety program because of the lack of student's knowledge of bicycle safety. Penny and Cindy did a program with the students as well already. Sheila Choate shared information about a bike safety program. "Bike Safe" is the name of the program. Wichita Falls has purchased the program. Mark Beecham is the city works department head in Wichita Falls. He volunteered to come and do it for free. Sherri also found someone that will donate 100 free helmets. The program goes up through the 8th grade. The can do a 30 min lesson during class, and they also offer a bicycle rodeo, which can be done on a Saturday or a special day. He likes to have law enforcement there during the program. He also likes to invite Patsy Walls with TXDot. They will bring the car dummy to show the older kids. He also likes to invite Transforming Texas – this organization will talk about family fitness and healthy living. They will give away a lot of free stuff. The bicycle program can be put on through school, or after school as a community program. The concern is that the kids that really need it will not come outside of school, so it might be more beneficial for it to be a part of the school day. The committee thought it would be better to do it late in the spring (possibly) after testing when it will be fresh in the students’ minds for the summer.

The guy from the bike shop will also come out and do free bike repairs. Jeanette and Cindy will talk to Kendra about doing the program at the elementary. The junior high would be interested in the classroom program/presentation but probably not the rodeo.

3. Misc.

Meeting was adjourned at 4:45 pm. The next meeting is scheduled for January 29, 2014.

SHAC Meeting
10/23/2013

The meeting was called to order at 4:15 pm in the Henrietta High School Cafeteria.

Also had Sherri with Ag Office do hand washing program with K-5 students at beginning of the year during PE/Music time.

Bicycle safety training K-5 grade levels completed during PE/Music.

Cindy did the program, Organ Wise Guys, with the kindergarten through fifth graders. It is a puppet program worth $500 provided through the extension agency.

Sherri did a very beneficial and successful training with the students over proper hand washing.

A teacher reported that 2 different students nearly had accidents on the way to school because they were not riding their bikes safely and some of the traffic on East Crafton goes pretty fast. Penny and Cindy showed the videos on bicycle safety to the kids which went over the following topics: rules of the road, signs and helmets. Most students in Henrietta do not wear helmets. Sheila mentioned that she thought either Hotter than Hell or TXDOT had a good bicycle program that the committee thought would be beneficial to our students. It is a program that they do at the health fair at the health department in Wichita Falls. Sheila will try to get a hold of someone to get information about the bicycle program and have them contact Cindy Dunkerley to set up.

2. Aim for Success

Aim for Success is a junior high and high school program promoting abstinence. Jeanette is going to try to bring the program in again this year (if her budget allows). The junior high and high school need to coordinate to plan when would be a good date for the program.

3. Scales

Sheila has found scales that we can have if we need them in our district. She can get the old-fashion slide kind or the electronic kind. Jeanette requested the old-fashion slide kind with the height measuring ability. Jeanette will contact Cindy Dunkerley to see if she would like to have one.

4. Other

No other items.

The meeting was adjourned at 4:50 pm.

________________________________________________________________

SHAC Meeting
3/20/2013

The meeting was called to order at 4:00 pm in the Henrietta Elementary Conference Room.

All members present agreed to serve for next year, including Paula Moore as chairperson.

3. Misc.

This year’s Health fair was a big success. Sherri will make sure that next year she will have a survey without a name field on it to maintain confidentiality. Mrs. Holding cut the top of the survey off this year where the student name field was to ensure student confidentiality.

Sheila has been working on obtaining another scale for the nurse to keep at the junior high. United Regional said they would give us a free used scale when they replace theirs this summer.

Sherri needs to speak with Kendra to see if they want to get an educational kit called Organ Wise that teaches about organ health. It is for K-2 and includes puppets, lessons, games, books, etc… It includes $1500 worth of stuff that HES can get for free if they do 20 hours lessons and the pre and post surveys. Blue Cross Blue Shield will pay for it if she gets approval by the school before May. Sherri has this educational kit in all her other schools.

1. Jessica Longley – Jessica shared her program with the committee. It is called Hot Topics. It is an abstinence based sex education. She is currently teaching her program in the districts of Iowa Park, Holliday, and Wichita Falls. Handout provided with examples of each day of the program.

2. Aim for Success – Jeanette handed out the survey results to the committee members.

3. Fundraiser update – The fundraiser dinner is February 8. Tickets are $10. It will be a Mexican dinner at Elks lodge in Wichita Falls from 6-11. (There is a student in Kindergarten that was diagnosed with diabetes a week before school started. The parents want to get a diabetic warning dog. The dog costs $15,000 but they need $3000 to pick out the dog and train.)

4. The last SHAC meeting of the year will be on March 20, 2013 at 4:00 in the HISD board room. The end of the year report to the school board is due in April, so the committee will review and approve the report at this time.

5. United regional lab is coming for HISD staff and spouses on Tuesday, March 26. They will be here from 6:30-9:00. The cost is $15 for women's, $15 for men and an additional $15 for PSA. Jeanette asks for donations for healthy breakfast food and drink items to provide for teachers.

1. Introduce new members:Paula, Chairperson of the committee, explained to new members the purpose of the SHAC.

One of the things discussed was the responsibility of the SHAC to complete a survey each year. One of the topics that we have to answer is how we cover sex education at our schools and that is how the Aim for Success program was brought into the school district.

The Aim for Success program will be next week. The parent meeting will be Tuesday night and the students' programs will be on Wednesday - high school in the morning, junior high in the afternoon.

2. Guest speaker at next meeting - Jessica Longly (used to be Cox) She presents a program called Hot Topics to other school districts including Holliday, Iowa Park, and Wichita Falls. She also volunteers at the HES health fair and teaches Zumba to students. She will come to our next meeting to give us information about the hot topics program that she presents.

3. Health Fair

Jeanette is working on getting all the volunteers scheduled for the Health fair.

Jessica Longly

Nutrition

Tobacco/drugs

Humane Society - Service dog

American Cancer Society

MSU oral hygiene (they are taking board exams on the day on the fair) Possibility to check on community health care center-they had a van that was in the Christmas parade. Or check with Kelly Holcombe to see if she would.

Archer City Health Department - can do poison control or oral hygiene, but Jeanette is going to ask them to do the poison control.

Poison Control - has not called back

Bike Safety -His name is Jarvis. Last time the boys liked this program. He is shutting down store, but will still come out and do the program. He just asks that we remind him a month ahead of time.

There is an HISD student that was diagnosed with diabetes a week before school started. The parents are wanting to get a diabetic warning dog. The dog costs $15,000 but they need $3000 to pick out the dog and train. There will be a benefit in February. The student is selling bracelets for $5 "A guardian for ..." The Elks club is going to sponsor for the benefit in February. But they need a sponsor with a tax exempt status before places like Wal Mart will donate to them. Jeanette will give the campuses copies of the flyer for the benefit to post at each campus.

2. Aim for Success - Look at the week of Dec. 10 to see if there is a good day for the program to come to junior high and elementary. It is $100 cheaper if we schedule in December or April, and $100 more if we schedule in May.

3. Sheri Halsell - A clean hands and germ prevention presentation was given to all students in the elementary. Mrs. Bennett sent out an email about how attendance had been up (the highest ever for this time of year) at the elementary since the presentation. We are asking Sheri to come back every year to do this program.

4. Recruiting new parent members - Kelly Holcomb is working in Wichita Falls and is unable to make 4pm meeting times. Martha Taylor is now a school employee and is not eligible to be a parent member. Other suggestions Misty Parker, Sheila Choate, Chrystal Compean, Misty Edwards, Casey Cody. Paula Moore was nominated as the coordinator for the committee, and she accepted the position.

Floyd presented a student program at the high school at 8:30, and at the junior high at 2:30. Both programs went very well.
Floyd shared some cases of child predation.

Types of child predators:
Collector-how most of them get started. Collecting photos or videos of children under 18.
Traveler - will engage in online chat then arrange for a meeting.
Manufacturer - takes pictures or videos.
Chatter - talk to them online.
The chances of youth under the age of 18 become a victim of sexual predation is 1 out of 3.
Dealings include:
Abduction
Rape/sexual molestation
Forced prostitution/porn production
Slave trading/trafficking
Murder (99.4% end up murdered)
Convicted sexual offenders:
Wichita county - 199
Jack county - 21
Montague county - 53
Wise county - 133
Young county - 51
Clay county - 16
Over 70% of these crimes were with minors.
2009 research shows that adults spend 13 hours a week online, while youth spend 30 hours a week online.
Youth are getting on average only 6 hours of sleep at night.
15 youth are still missing that have been gone for less than a year. 66 have been missing for 5 years.
Congressional lobbyist representing a group of psychiatrist "before you act" want to change "pedophile" to "minor attracted" because of the negative stereotype.

Social Networking
Main focus-Facebook, cell phone use
Secondary-MySpace, twitter, etc
Other not mentioned to kids: chat roulette Video chatting with random people - Getting more and perverse.
Family Protection - computers & cell phones Must become "social smart" and "phone smart".
All computers and phones need to be in family room. Wireless is one of the biggest problems we have today.
Tarleton State University had a pornography problem. One dorm had rule that doors had to be open and monitors facing door. They are not the only ones with a problem, but they are one of the only ones doing anything about it.

Be careful about what children watch on tv. Examples were given of sitcoms shown at 7 pm referring to watching porn as if it is normal and ok.
No internet connection in a "private" bedroom.
Do all children really need a smart phone. Think "jitterbug"!!
Make sure Facebook settings are set to "friends only".
The settings need to be saved. Facebook will never change your settings.
Do not allow children to have multiple email accounts or social networking accounts.
Know logins and passwords to all accounts.
In Texas several years ago children had to be missing for 24 hours to be considered missing, now they are considered missing as soon as it is reported. But Facebook by law will not release login info for 24 hours to the police for a missing child. Parents job is to love and protect them.
Know their friends list.
Never meet online first and in-person second. Don't let them be friends with people they don't know.
Also need to go through their cell phone contact list & have a name/face with each contact.
Have your kids teach you text code.
Establish computer use rules. Including cell phones, iPads, kindles.
... Never divulge personal info or photos.
... Establish what sites are allowed.
... No social networking during homework time.
... Neighborhood computer rules - what's allowed next door.
All these precautions close the door to child predators.

Bullying-when a child is tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed.
...direct attacks (one person attacks another) ...by proxy (have someone else do the bullying for you)
Over 18 it is called stalking and harassment.
Bullying in Texas is against the law.
Why?
Revenge, anger, frustration-someone that has probably been bullied.
Laughs entertainment
Jealousy
Social status
Just plain mean
...Coward (bully those you can beat up-makes you a coward)
Teach:
respect
consequences
to take a stand
Education - we must educate our youth to the consequences, whether they participate with, ignore, or report the bully.
As adults we must be able to "call out" a bully who really is nothing more than a "coward". We should call bullies "cowards" because they are bullying others who are smaller or weaker than he/she is. In other words, we consider them a coward because they pick on others that they are confident that they could "whip".
Floyd gave an example of a time during one of his presentations when he called out one of the main school bullies in front of the student body. When one of the teachers ask if he was bullying the bully, he said, "You're darn right I am. They need to know how it feels." As parents, teachers, and concerned adults, it is our responsibility to hold bullies accountable for their behavior and teach our children to band together against bullies.

Sexting -the act of sending sexually explicit messages and/or photographs via computer or other mobile device.
Sexting for those under 18 is a misdemeanor for 1st offense.
2nd offense or pictures of others is a felony. It is child pornography!
Production of child pornography-10years
Distribution of child pornography-15years Possession of child pornography-5years Promotion of child pornography-10years Transporting across state lines-10+years Registered as a sexual offender for life Parents are a registered sex offender too.
Monitor cell phone use
Limit cell phone capabilities
Stay knowledgable
Speak with friends' parents about concerns

Floyd ended with a video illustrating how quickly information about your children can be obtained on the Internet.

Dates of Future SHAC Meetings:
Jeanette will set the dates for next year’s SHAC meetings at the beginning of 2011-2012 school year and send out to the SHAC members.

Region 9 Survey
Jeanette has completed most of the survey with help from each of the campuses about information/programs that she did not know the answers to. The SHAC suggested that for next year’s survey, Jeanette should give each of the principals and counselors a copy of the survey to complete any of the items that have to do with their jobs/responsibilities. The surveys would then be returned to Jeanette to compile the information in the district report.

Health Fair Scheduled March 11, 2011
The Henrietta Elementary Health Fair is scheduled for March 11. Kelly Holcomb will coordinate the dental hygiene program through MSU. MSU will be sending 2 students to help with the program. Texoma Cycling Center is sending someone for bicycling safety. We also want to ask them if they can include information about skateboard and ripstick safety since these are so popular with the kids. Sherri Halsell will send Jeanette an evaluation to be used with the students at the end of the health fair. Jerry Skelton will be doing a tobacco program. Jenny Holding will be doing Pilates. Sherri Halsell will be doing sports nutrition. The Wildcat Hockey Team will be doing workouts. The American Cancer Society will be doing Sun Safety. The Health Department will be doing Poison Safety. And there will also be Zumba in the gym.

Parent Chairperson
Kelly Holcomb was nominated to be the parent chairperson for the SHAC. She agreed to accept the position. The only stipulation is that if she gets hired by HISD as a teacher, she will no longer be able to serve as the parent chairperson since she will be an employee of the district.

Annual Written Report
The 2010-2011 Annual Written Report is due to the school board by April 1. It will be presented at the March 10 board meeting. The committee reviewed the report and made the following suggestions for changes:
• Removed AIM drug program since there is no funding for the program this year.
• Mark Klyn’s spoke on the school survey’s in relation to the SHAC needs assessment survey. There are no items that the SHAC is recommending to add to the current school surveys.
• Added information about the 3rd grade balance your day with food and play.
• Added information about K-5 Walk Across Texas.
• Added information about 4th/5th Grade Health Fair
• Added information about Ag Safety Day for the 3rd Grade.

Aim for Success:
The parent night is scheduled for May 5 at 6:00 in the Henrietta High School Cafeteria. The student program will be on May 6. The high school program will be in the morning and the junior high program will be in the afternoon. The program this year is titled "Freedom to Succeed". It will include information about law updates and the newest information regarding "sexting".

Information from Last Meeting
Mark Klyn has agreed to send us him documentation that he shared with the committee from the last meeting so that we can post the information with our minutes.

Region 9 Survey
Region 9 sent out another survey to be completed by the SHAC. It is due to be completed by March 4. Jeanette will work on completing the items and getting the information she needs from the campuses before the next SHAC meeting.

Next Meeting
The next SHAC meeting is scheduled for February 23, 2011. At this meeting the committee will prepare the report to be submitted to the school board.

Agenda
Mark Klyn (former HISD School Psychologist) came to talk to the committee about the role of the School Psychologist. He will be providing the documentation to us that he shared so that we may post it with our minutes. He also made suggestions to the SHAC regarding the Needs Assessment Survey. His recommendation was that we use the information gathered through the other school surveys that are already in place. He did not recommend that any additional items be added.

Agenda for Next Meeting (12/15/2010):
Mark Klyn (former HISD School Psychologist) will be a guest speaker at the next meeting in December. Jeanette is also inviting Deanna Draper, who is now the Special Education Counselor for HISD.

Abstinence and Drug/Alcohol Programs:
Jeanette has money in her budget to bring back the Aim for Success program to the junior high and high school this year. In the past David Gordon has paid for it through Region 9. Jeanette does not have money for the drug & alcohol program. David Gordon will not be able to fund either program through Region 9 this year. We will look at dates to schedule the Aim for Success program again this year in December or in the spring at junior high and high school. To cover the drug and alcohol program, the junior high and high school will continue to take advantage of the Serenity program since it is free of charge.

Other:
Sheri Halsell shared information about a new Bullying program that they think would be good for our junior high. Nicki Holbert, junior high counselor, was very interested and asked Sheri to keep her updated on when it would be ready. It would include 5 days of 30 minute lessons. Missy Hodgin, the ag agent, is working with Sheri on this new program.

3rd grade is doing "Balance your Day with Food and Play" again in the spring after TAKS. This program provides teachers with workbooks, pretests, posttests, lessons, and homework to do with parents.

Henrietta Elementary School is once again participating in "Walk Across Texas" with Pre K – 5th grades. The program promotes walking over 5000 miles in a year.

Kellie Harris, HISD Technology:
Kellie came to talk to the committee about the ways to get information to parents using email or cell phone texting. She explained how the district and campus listserv worked, as well as an email distribution list through a program such as Outlook. She recommended that since the district already subscribes to the listserv service through our website, that we use that as the way to send messages to parents. She said at this point sending text alerts to parents cell phones was not an option. The committee discussed ways to promote parents to sign up for the listserv. The following suggestions were made:
• Send information to parents about how to sign up through the elementary newsletter.
• Put a message on the report card.
• Have the sports club send out the information about signing up through their distribution list.
• Have the parents sign up at student registration before school starts either on a workstation, or on a signup sheet that would later be input into the listserv by a campus or HISD employee.
• The counselors at each campus would help coordinate the efforts at their respective campuses to get parents to sign up.

Annual Report:
The SHAC Annual Report is due April 1, 2010. It will be presented to the school board at the March 11, 2010 school board meeting. Jeanette presented a draft annual report which the SHAC reviewed and finalized. See attached report.

Planning for Next Year:
At the beginning of the school year next year, Jeanette will send out the dates for the 2010-2011 SHAC meetings. Mark Klyn has agreed to come to first meeting to discuss the possible addition of the counseling and mental health survey questions that could be added to the current district surveys. The SHAC will use the information from Mr. Zamzow’s and Mr. Clayton’s surveys in addition to the possible addition of the mental health questions to assess the district’s needs.

SHAC meeting dates for 2010-2011 School year were: 11/10/2010, 12/15/2010, 1/26/2011, and 2/23/2011.

Erin Turner, HHS Health Teacher:
Erin talked about the PAPA Program, which stands for Parenting and Paternity Awareness.
This is a new program that is required at the high school level that involves annual training. Erin sends an informational letter home at the beginning of the class listing the 12 topics that will be covered.

Jeanette was completing a TEA survey. The question was asked, "What percentage of our high school campuses gives CPR instruction". The answer was "All Campuses".

Human Sexuality instruction is included in junior high and high school health. The parents are notified of the right to opt out of the instruction and to access curriculum upon request.

Campus Needs Assessment:
The SHAC is still in the process of looking at options to aid in the development of the Campus Needs Assessment. There are 2 surveys that are currently done in our district through Survey Monkey. The SHAC reviewed these 2 surveys to see how relevant the items would be to use towards the campus needs assessment.
• Mr. Zamzow’s Drug Survey: Jeanette shared a copy of Mr. Zamzow’s Drug Survey. The group reviewed the survey to see how it could be used towards the SHAC’s Campus Needs.
• Mr. Clayton’s Educational Survey: Jeanette also shared a copy of this survey. It included more general educational questions, but not topics dealing with drugs, bullying, or health related topics. Mr. Clayton will have another survey sent out in the spring. We discussed reviewing this survey to see if any parts might include the kind of information the SHAC is looking for.
• Region 18’s survey was discussed to decide if it might include appropriate questions that we could use for our survey. A few members commented that it included language and acronyms that they felt like parents and students would not easily understand. But that it could be used as a starting point.
• The one area that the SHAC felt like we might need assistance in developing and including relevant and meaningful questions in the survey would be the Counseling and Mental Health area. We discussed reviewing the other region’s survey to see if it included relevant questions that we could use.

Aim for Success Dates & Parent Night:
The Parent night is scheduled for March 9 from 6-7 pm in the Henrietta High School Auditorium. The student program will be on March 10 in the morning at the high school, then in the afternoon at the junior high. To encourage parent attendance at the parent meeting, the idea was suggested to see if the English teachers would give extra credit to students who had a parent or guardian show up at the parent night on their behalf. The suggestion was made to send an informational flyer about the parent meeting home through the English classes explaining how they student could benefit if a parent attended. We also suggested getting a parent email database set up so that a broadcast email could be sent to parents to let them know about the parent meeting.

Other:
Jeanette will ask Erik or Kellie to come to the next meeting to talk to the SHAC about begin able to send out the broadcast emails to parents to share important information.

Jeanette thinks that she will have money in her budget to bring in the AIM for Success Drug Program for the Junior High and the High School. We will look at scheduling that parent meeting and student programs in May.

Jeanette Holding :Introduction of New Members Explanation of the SHAC and its purpose.

Cindy Dunkerley – TETN Meetings:

Cindy has been trying to stay on top of student health topics, requirements and new legislation through watching the TETNs. After watching the first TETN, she felt like our district was ahead of the game. The state uses the TETNs as a vehicle to explain to school districts what they are wanting. We are currently working on a needs assessment to meet some of these requirements. Parents/Public access to the school wellness policy that is adopted by the district is posted on the website for public information. HES and HJH use the Catch program, which is a state adopted PE program.

In January (Jan 3-12) Cindy will do the fitness testing and send the report to Austin.

Campus Needs Assessment:One of the new state requirements is that the SHAC must meet 4 times per year. Our next meetings are scheduled for Jan. 20 and Feb. 17. The SHAC report must be ready to present to the school board by the March 11 meeting. Our goals for our Jan. 20 meeting will be to go over the needs assessment. The Feb. 17 meeting will be used to talk about the report to be presented to the school board and what we have accomplished for the year. David Gordon is going to get a needs assessment survey together to put on our website. The high school has one online already, so the SHAC is going to wait until later to post the needs assessment survey. Jeanette passed out the survey from David Gordon for the members to review. She had already noted some corrections to be made. There was another suggestion to add "I don’t know" or "unsure" and/or "possibly" as answer choices. Other suggestions included adding drug use including using non-prescribed prescription drugs. The SHAC discussed possibly using Randy Zamzow’s safe and drug free schools survey, or at least see what questions are already covered within that survey. There was also discussion about gearing the questions to give us the kind of answers that will help us figure out what our needs are as a school district.

AIM for Success dates:The parent night is scheduled for Tuesday, March 9 from 6-7pm at the HHS Auditorium. At the next meeting, the SHAC will discuss ideas to advertise and promote attendance to this parent meeting. The student program will be on March 10 in the morning at the high school and in the afternoon at the junior high.

Other: The SHAC members will take the sample surveys home and review and make corrections and suggestions and bring back to the next meeting to discuss and finalize. Randy Zamzow will bring his survey that he puts on the website to see what information is already being collected that could be used for the needs assessment. Jeanette will also check with Scot Clayton to see if he does any surveys that might have information to help with the SHAC survey needs.

Discussed meeting with TEA- Region 9 received information at the same time as districts did.

The SHAC lost Janet as a member, but gained Kelly Holcomb and Shannon Fletcher as new SHAC members.

Folders with new information were handed out – done prior to Senate Bill 283, including information:

Powerpoint– how to develop a SHAC

School board responsibilities to the SHAC

Side by Side Log of Legislation

SB 1 started SHAC mostly SBC

SB 19 included minimum time for PE

SB 1357 added nurses and counseling

SB 283 Gives teeth to SHAC

Changes:

The School Board shall appoint the SHAC – at least 5 members, the majority of which are non-employee parents.

A written report is required annually due by April 1.

A needs assessment (recommended – but not required by law)

for each campus

prioritize needs

develop a 2 or 3 year plan

May reach back to last year, does not have to

Recommends taking report to Mr. McClure and asking if either

he will present

we can be scheduled to report

The SHAC must meet at least 4 times/year (before we had to declare how many times it met)

Must provide written notice at the start of the year about plan to teach human sexuality instruction.

a summary of content provided on request about the subject to parents

May use Packet "SHAC Bible" to orient new members

P. 14 Bylaws – recommended, not mandatory. The benefit is that it gives rules about how we can function. Example, a member that always leave meetings early or misses meetings loses the right to vote, rules about those who would dominate meetings, rules about absentee voting, etc…

Example: School Health Index from CDC – must have campus administrator’s support.

Develop goals and objectives

How do we develop needs assessment?

Ask… it doesn’t need to be complex or greatly detailed… "What do our kids need?"

Survey Site – survey monkey or zoomerang.com also fulfils need of parental rights

David will act as coordinator

Aim for success – parental attendance

*** To get credit for this meeting as professional development, you need to register for the class using catalog # 2260.6675.

Spring 2009 SHAC Minutes

SHAC: School Health Advisory Council
Tuesday, April 21, 2009
In Attendance:
Jeanette Holding, RN - Nurse
duRae Berquist - Parent
Georgetta Stanford – High School Counselor
Angie Forrester - Parent
Cindy Dunkerley – Elementary PE Teacher
Janet Heis - Parent
Todd Davis – Junior High Health/Science Teacher
Nicki Holbert – Junior High Counselor
Sherri Halsell - SHAC Coordinator
Kim Hollar - Food Service Director
Crista Byers - Parent
1. 4th and 5th Grade Health Fair – Sherri Halsell
Great response this year – most said it was "excellent". The kids really enjoyed the fair, especially stations like the "Zumba" exercise station and the dance station. Sherri did a really neat display using water bottles stacked in a pyramid. The kids were challenged to guess how many gallons the bottles represented. This display represented the amount of coke per year that the average American drinks resulting in 64 lbs of sugar! The 4th and 5th Grade Health Fair is a program that Jeanette does every other year and will be planned again for the year after next.
The 3rd grade teachers participated again this year in the Balancing Food & Play program. It is a program that includes a workbook, activities and 40 hours of lessons. Everything is connected to the TEKS. It also includes before and after evaluations from the students which can be kept on file to document our nutrition compliance in our curriculum.
Sherri is also working with Kim Hollar on Food Handler’s Training. They are looking into places in the community (like local churches) where it could be offered so that we could involve volunteers to be trained that will help run concession stands.
2. Aim for Success – Jeanette Holding
This concluded the 3rd year of the 3 year abstinence program. Jeanette provided the results from the surveys that the students filled out during the programs at the junior high and high school campuses for the committee to review. David Gordon, Region 9 has provided the funds to bring this program to our district for the last 3 years. We are not sure if we will continue to receive funds in the future to bring this program again, or to bring an alternative program. The committee discussed the possibility of the program, "Power to Succeed" which is a program encouraging students to avoid tobacco, alcohol, and drugs. Sherri mentioned that she might be able to use tobacco grant money to pay for this program if it covers enough on the tobacco topic. The committee discussed asking for funding for both programs, "Aim for Success" and "Power to Succeed".
The SHAC discussed how to promote parent involvement through attendance to the Parent Program offered the night before the presentations at the schools. Some ideas included having the community help sponsor the meeting, for example having the parent program at a church or the community center and having community organizations help with hosting it, possibly students from local youth groups. The committee also suggested a drawing giveaway or some other incentive for the parent and/or student whose parent attends the parent meeting. Other ideas included mass e-mails, personal invitations, or even a phone tree.
3. Staff Wellness – Jeanette Holding
(United Reference Lab Wellness Panel)
The lab (United Reference Lab Wellness Panel) came to HISD on Tuesday, March 24th from 0700-0900 in the HES gym. The cost for the lab work this year was $15.00. The testing included: CBC (WBC count, RBC count, Hgb/Hct and Platelets), Lipid Panels (Cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and Triglyceride) and Blood Chemistries ( Glucose, Sodium, Potassium, Carbon dioxide, Liver function tests, and Kidney function tests.) The PSA screening was also available for men for $15.00 (screening for prostate cancer).
United Regional also had a table set up providing information on bone density testing for osteoporosis, breast self exam and mammography with the message of prevention through early detection. Each campus donated $20 plus the PTA provided food for breakfast since the blood tests had to be done after fasting. We had a great turnout this year with 75 participants (staff and spouses). The results indicated 55% abnormal bad cholesterol, 29% abnormal triglycerides, 12% abnormal glucose, and 8% abnormal hemoglobin.
4. Bullying and Self Esteem – Nicki Holbert
The junior high has scheduled David Gordon to come do a program with the 7th graders to promote healthy self esteem and bully awareness/prevention. The campus is looking at scheduling him to come for extended programs for the 7th and 8th graders during the 2009-2010 school year that would deal more extensively with bullying prevention and self esteem.

• Mr. Zamzow and Mr. West presented the drug testing program for Jr. High and High School. The testing is done by an outside company and the students to be tested are randomly selected. The students selected are in extra-curricular activities or drive a car to school and park on school grounds. The program was implemented as a deterrent for students and to help students make healthy choices.
• Drug Education from each campus was presented. High school uses their health and science classes. Serenity Foundation also comes into the Biology Classes for one week to present a program. The Jr. High uses their health class in 6th grade, assembly program, and science classes. The elementary campus teaches character education in Head start – 5th grade, making good choices, and grade appropriate drug education in each classroom.
• Sherri Halsell shared the "Balance Your Day with Food and Play" program that is implemented in 3rd grade. At the next meeting Mrs. Halsell will share the evaluations. This program encourages healthy eating and exercise.
• Mrs. Halsell also talked about the Food Handlers Program which is for all school cafeteria employees. Mrs. Halsell and Mrs. Hollar will coordinate this together.
• Mrs. Holding presented the information for the 3rd program on Aim for Success which is for Jr. High and High School students. Parent night will be Dec. 15 6:00-7:00 p.m. and DEC. 16 will be the program for High School in the morning and Jr. High in the afternoon. Suggestions for how to promote the parent meeting were discussed.
• Health Fair for 4th and 5th grade will be March 13. There will be eight presenters and students will rotate every 15-20 minutes to hear each presentation.
• A wellness program for staff was discussed to give employees information on health issues. Staff members who have the school insurance already receive information from Blue Cross Blue Shield.

1. Balance Your Day with Food & Play – Sherri Halsell & 3rd Grade teachers.
Lisa Davis and the 3rd Grade Teachers said this was a good program and the kids enjoyed it. They did one block at a time. It didn’t take as long as they expected. Results will come from College Station. It was a free service; there was no charge to the district. Once results come back, we will get a nice pamphlet along with some cute pictures of the kids to share with the district and the board.

2. Do Well, Be Well with Diabetes – Sherri Halsell
Sherri handed a pamphlet out. If anyone is interested, they can be a part of these lessons during May at Clay County Memorial Hospital @ 10:00 in the meeting room. There will be five lessons.

3. Healthy & Wise – Jeanette Holding
We are required to implement one of 3 approved programs. Jeanette Holding, Julia Burlison (6th grade PE teacher), and Tracie Barry (6th grade health teacher) went to Region 9 to preview the 3 approved programs. SHAC is required to approve whatever is picked for the school. Healthy & Wise seems to go along with the current program the best. It coordinates with what we are already doing, rather than introducing a whole new program. Training will be covered by Region 9. Healthy & Wise allows for parents to get online and be involved in the program. du’Rae made the motion to adopt the program. Kim Hollar seconded. The vote was unanimous to adopt the program. This program will be used for 6th grade Health, and can be incorporated into 7th and 8th grade subjects. Cindy Dunkerley is also planning to move to Healthy & Wise to go along with what the Junior High will be doing.

4. Aim for Success – Jeanette Holding
The second Aim for Success program, "Freedom to Succeed", was presented at Junior High and High School on Dec. 18, 2007. We had positive results. The student survey responses were shared with the campuses. The third Aim for Success program is "Achieve Success". Aim for Success strongly encourages that if you are going to participate, that you do all three programs. We have requested funding to cover the third program from David Gordon. David requested that if we are funded for the third year of the program that we would track our pregnancy statistics at our campuses for year one, two, and three. Next time for the Aim for Success program, we discussed the need to stress the importance of the parent meeting. It is new information each time and very valuable information for the parents to hear. Kim Hollar made the motion to accept. Angie Duncan seconded. The vote was unanimous to go forward with the third Aim for Success program, "Achieve Success".

5. Miscellaneous Discussion
At our next meeting, we would like to have someone from each of the campuses that is knowledgeable about the drug testing program, come to give some information about how it works. What shows up in testing, and what doesn’t - especially with prescription and over-the-counter medications. What students participate in drug testing, and who is excluded. Also we would like to have someone from all three campuses go over what drug education is done at each campus.

Jeanette Holding began the meeting by introducing the group and the new members. She stated that the committee generally meets two times per year.

Cindy Dunkerley spoke about a new program for the 3rd grade students. "Balance Your Day With Food and Play." She stated that if the teachers could take care of covering the food part of the program, as the Physical Education teacher, she would take care of the play portion. Forms were provided to be sent home to parents for permission to participate. Since the program covers information that is already in the curriculum, Mrs. Dunkerley did not feel as though the forms would have to be signed for students to participate. Some of the items that are to be used in the program are measuring cups, food pyramid, paper plates, and samples of nutritional facts. Packets were to be distributed to the administrators for final approval. It is a good program that is being provided to us for free. It lasts 6 weeks and covers TAKS objectives. Mrs. Dunkerley plans to meet with the Health teachers from Third Grade to talk more about it.

Nurse Holding spoke about the "Aim for Success" program that was introduced last year to Henrietta ISD. It covers abstinence, sex, and STDs. This committee has made great progress getting this correct information to our district. The program will return December 17, 2007 with the parent meeting at the High School Auditorium. The high school program will be December 18, the first group will be 9th and 10 grades followed by 11th and 12th grades. That afternoon the program will move to the Junior High with the 6th graders, followed by the 7th and 8th grades together. This year is part 2 - "Freedom to Succeed: Why Choose Abstinence...It's the Law." The program costs the district $1254. David Gordon at Region 9 has grant money that will cover the cost to our district. Nurse Holding handed out and informational flyer that had a true story testimonial . Information will be published in the school newsletter as well as the Clay County Leader closer to time for the program.

Kim Hollar was introduced as the new Food Services Director.

Those parents present received a parent questionnaire to be filled out.

The committee found out that the Wellness Policy had received some updates since last year. There are still some dates that may need to be updated.

A question was brought to the committee about whether the coaches use detergent to clean athletics clothes. Some were under the impression that they only used hot water. At the Junior High, the clothes are not allowed to come home; they must remain on campus and are washed on campus. Nurse Holding will check on the washing of the athletic clothes. Also, the committee discussed the fact that if a student has an infection that is running they should report it to the coaches and those kids' clothes should go home to be washed. Nurse Holding thought, and Kim concurred, that the uniforms are washed daily. Also, the equipment is supposed to be washed daily.
